Nothingness would expand into infinity. Nothingness (0) doesn't represent a permanent location. Therefore, that could become (+0.0-0.0) x (6 or n). In that case, the size of the universe could become 0 to 0.0. But according to my calculation, the universe converted from 0 to 0.00000 with a mathematical relationship, making the elementary particles, forces, etc. In that case, the size of the universe initial universe was +0.00000-0.00000, and the infinity in the universe was located between +0.00000 and -0.00000. But the universe could continue at the edge (at +0.00000 and -0.00000), making more and more dimensions. The absolute time must continue if there is something (time) even if there is nothing (not even space). And that is why the relative time emerged. Relativeness of the time dimensions is the energy (the universe). The relative time doesn't stop the absolute time in any case. But the relative time can stop relatively. Many directional moments at a moment can make the entire universe while increasing the moments with the expansion of the universe. So the universe is growing making directional moments. Best of luck.

This is great, but i Believe that the infinite void is only truly converted by something I e actual Materiality existeance levels that encompass all actual consciousness dimensions. The void space to Materiality conversion processes have to interact with ‘pure void’ because in its own eternality it predates in ways even the existence of God and God forms. Thus it can only be re identified to any form by the highest Materiality frequency intensity available creation wide, then void integration with dimensions substance begins, thus ‘the best’ is sent to convert ‘the most difficult’ do you find that this makes ‘ structural sense’?

Cosmology and Physics are my favourite fields of learning. I am in my late 60s but still full of curiosity and wonder. This channel has long been and still remains one of my favourites. There was no such thing as the internet when I grew up and was in my 30s before I got my first computer and I believe this fact allows me to appreciate the current information age so much more than people who have never known anything else. The fact that a working-class guy like myself has all this knowledge and learning, not to mention art and culture at my fingertips, a mouse click away still excites and amazes me. The nearest thing to today,s communication network was the Starship Enterprise and its gadgets! I never imagined back then that such wonders would become easily available! I remember seeing their communication devices resembling today's mobile phones and laptops and thinking they would remain in the imagination of science fiction writers! How blessed we are!

[@dezvul4817]

Mathematically it also requires that you be able to observe a larger infinity than the infinity you hope to understand, and how do you ever know you are the largest infinity? If your capacity to observe the space of the universe is the speed of light, and the entire universe is infinitely large and is expanding at some constant rate that isn't infinitesimal; then a point in space at some distance away from you (not even infinitely far away from you, at a distance that is calculatable based on the speed of universe expansion) is moving away from you faster than you can ever hope to approach it or even see it. You can thus have an infinite area of space to observe, but can never observe or interact outside of a specific bubble of infinite space. There could be an infinite number of these bubbles of infinity within a bigger space, and only an entity larger than the infinity that divides these bubbles could observe both of these bubbles unless they can interact.

We were making our way across the open desert in our strykers ( was with 2CR at the time) and we saw a large, glowing "sphere" that had bright orange light emanating from it. It was maybe 30 to 40 feet above the ground and went east to west at a pace I'd estimate to be at about 5 mph. The entire platoon saw it. We radioed it up to x-ray (HQ) and our MI guy put it into the debrief. Apparently the unit that owned the battlespace west of us saw it too and experienced the same thing. Have no clue what the hell it was. Not saying it was a UFO, but it damn sure wasn't anything anyone had ever seen before. There was a weird "statically" feeling in the air as it passed.

It seems to be needed, that a Last one must be there, for Else it would go into Infinity. But maybe this is the only possible conclusion. That the ultimate is Infinite and thereby nothing in Relation to it and anything. In talking about time, it would amount to the Thing called 'now'. Maybe this is, what is meant, when it says 'to know, that you dont know.' For it is possible to know, that the ultimate cannot be known, Just by understanding the simultanious necessity and Impossibility of it. It cannot be spoken of this.

One of my earliest memories is arriving logically at the frontier with the infinite. I was playing in the living room of my childhood home one summer afternoon and I remember having just watched some astronomy documentary on TV with my dad the night before. I was constructing a model of the universe based on what I had seen, starting with my local position on a planet orbiting a sun, sun orbiting a galaxy, and then as they say, the galaxies disperse and the universes expands. I arrived at some primitive notion of a ball getting bigger but understood that the universe seemed to be all there could be, and that for there to be a boundary, you needed a contrasting 'not-being' that defines the boundary to 'being', and the inevitable "What Is Beyond The Edge?(!)". I was scrambling to imagine a boundary to 'not-being' beyond the on to 'being' in order to 'capture' totality, but boom... It was a peak experience, I felt hyper perceptive and suddenly aware of the truly mysterious state that I found myself in as a human child. I often say it felt like all of my guts where falling out of my, kind of like looking up at an impossibly large object, or down from a height, like tingly gonads and butterflies in my belly. A defining moment for sure. Anyway, I just wanted to share this article I found a while ago, it's from 1990, fully sourced with notes etc. Basically, it gives a really strong argument for the Big Bang hypothesis being based on a misinterpretation due to fundamental assumptions that have been experimentally and observationally disproven. Given the alarming rates of megalomania and utterly petty and vicious personal attacks these neurotics rail against each other just for having differing opinions! Really, I think academia, specifically the physical sciences, are totally ridden with this. Additionally, when you understand how one culture's breakthroughs can become the foundational assumptions of subsequent cultures, and how early Greek thought undermines all of western intellectual pursuit, I reckon they probably just inherited that queasiness about something that can't be contained within the rational or imaginative faculties. I guess it sucks to know you can never know....

I don't understand the trees and branches and seeds. In the demonstration he has 6 branches coming off of one seed. Why couldn't they do 4 branches off of 1 seed for "tree 2"?

[@BorisJensen]

It's a combination of factors. In the list of trees, the n'th tree cannot have more than 1 node. So the first tree can have only 1 node. That means that if any tree after that first tree has a node with the same colour as the first tree (green), then it contains the first tree as a subtree, and would therefore be illegal. So any trees after the first must be another colour. And since we are talking about Tree(2), then we only have 2 colours, so all subsequent trees must be the same colour (red). Since the second tree can have maximum of 2 nodes, we have a choice of having either 1 or 2 red nodes in that tree. If we choose 1 ree node, then every tree after that would be illegal, because it would either contain the first tree or the second tree as a subtree. If we choose 2 trees, them they must be connected, and so any subsequent trees that contain 2 connected red nodes would be illegal. So the only legal 3rd tree would be a single red node, and after that all trees are illegal. So Tree(2) is 3, since it is the length of the largest series of trees of 2 colours that follow those rules. If you had a tree that branched out into many branches, it would either have too many nodes for its place in the list, or contain a previous tree as a subtree.

Sorry for the typos, I wrote it on a mobile phone in a train, I hope it still makes sense. Just substitute red for ree, and nodes for trees in the right places :)

I always thought it was implied that a galaxy as an energy source was just a means of actually transferring and controlling the immense magnitude of energy present in a galaxy, not as them actually containing a physical galaxy in a game of turtles.

[@andrespalomino353]

One of my favorite questions. Literally kept me up as a toddler thinking about it

[@InfiniteRadius]

The fact that 'Something' ' exists rather than 'Nothing', means there cannot be a boundary of 'Nothing'. Hence time and space are infinite. Everything exists and all at once and infinitely.

[@piterpraker3399]

Indeed, it seems to me that if absolute nothing were to exist beside something, then it would contradict itself faster than both existence or nonexistence. The universe operates on the principle of non-contradiction, which is the reason for "reason", study, rationality, and intelligence itself. In the same vein, will is required to create will, and intelligence is required to create intelligence. As it would be ridiculous to claim that order is an extension of chaos, as chaos itself cannot fundamentally exist - except as a limitation of the observer. It's inconvenient for many, but that we exist at all is an irrefutable argument for intelligent design.

Beautifully composed to be understood by non academics. What a marvelous job!

[@tinybatman9502]

Agreed. I'm kinda retarded, and this was generally easy to follow.

[@bokabosiljcic8694]

Would really like to thank you for your content. This channel is pure gold!

Everybody’s a gangsta until TREE(3) shows up

[@t9t967]

This video made me think and feel new things.

[@simpsonyellow]

Far and away my favourite channel on KZbin. I love receiving notifications for your new vids. Always wonderfully researched, structured and narrated. Thank you for what you do.

[@POBox4375]

I've just discovered this channel and I wasn't entirely unfamiliar with these concepts but I adored how coherent and comprehensible this video's explanations were. Especially considering the "size" of the topic!

[@ricardoserra615]

Another nice, well researched video. Congrats!

[@aliasgur3342]

This video feels like it goes on for infinity

[@enorazza]

I am watching a lot of your videos and this one really shines on the most difficult topic. Very well done, from the difficult explanations of different sizes of infinities, which is already a hard thing to understand, to the philosophical ending, which is impossible to understand for us limited humans. Thank you so much.

[@JaYoeNation]

I first questioned the reality of infinity when I was around 9. Amazement was followed by question and then headaches and nausea. I could not sleep right for a week before I simply had to acknowledge it was beyond my understanding.

[@chrisk5834]

Lol

[@niks660097]

you just explained daily life of an astronomer, specially after JWT went live..

[@mikepalmer2219]

What also messes with me is, was there a beginning and if so what was before?

[@arjaysoguilon799]

It's actually fascinating! I love this kind of videos! It makes my brain calm and ignites my imagination! Well narrated as well. Watching from the Philippines!

[@giarc0]

Now that I have learned that Cantor suffered a complete mental and emotional meltdown, I don’t feel so bad for having to withdraw (twice) from 3rd year Calculus in college. I could never wrap my mind around the proofs showing differing sizes of infinity. Plus, my professor had a very thick accent, which made everything more difficult.

[@alyzerine1]

I too came across a specific calculus problem that required infinity to be doubled, felt robbed of my sanity, and dropped out of class.

Woooohoooo!!! Kelly brothers are in overdrive, better cancel ALL my weekend plans! Thank you so much for keeping our brains in good shape and hearts in right place❤❤❤❤❤

[@HistoryoftheUniverse]

It's all happening!

[@ezza88ster]

Nicely mind-bending mix of concepts and graphics. Felt like I'd had a puff at times! Beautifully done. Feel like I need to watch some sci-fi now! Also, as an aside, the Boltzman Brain conclusions are remarkably close to Hindu Advaita Vedanta philosophy.

[@darthbaker1114]

Absolutely fascinating and explained brilliantly!

[@PickeringSamuel]

I feel like this is the best video that covers this subject I've ever seen.

[@Dieseloutlaws]

This is the most comprehensive documentary of my career in explaining the infinite possibilities that exist in our universe, thank you

[@aaronpotton2641]

Every single video that has been made from this channel has been brilliant! There's no other channel on KZbin that produces videos like the ones here!

[@metaleggman18]

The narrator's explanation of TREE(2) really is proof positive you can't explain something well if you don't understand it yourself. In fact, he doesn't really explain TREE(2), he just provides the answer, which I'm assuming confused anyone actually trying to understand the concept. Check out the video on the subject by Numberphile to get a much better explanation of the TREE function.

[@Pixietoria]

Thanks! Will now go hunt that one out. 👍🏻

[@Pixietoria]

Ah… thanks! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@deslacooda]

1:17 I will need a few go-arounds, possibly even a few look-sees to wrap me noggin around this.

[@granthudson5447]

I understand what Mr Padilla meant about his quote. Only so much a human mind can take, I work hard, but even harder. I was a bookkeeper full time and went to college full time. Looking after Fishermans finances. Juggling with family. dreaming about numbers surrounded by numbers, haunted about numbers. I got so overwhelmed man my mind imploded, re-wired I went crazy.

[@DavidvdGulik]

Yeah mr padilla wasn't speaking metaphorically. If you would hold that amount of information in a space the size of a brain, it would literally physically implode into a black hole

[@Sanquinity]

Still amazed at the quality of these videos every time a new one releases. So glad this channel exists, to scratch that space documentary itch that was left unscratched when discovery decided to become a reality show tv channel.

[@weltraumaffe4155]

Thanks! This is where I usually lock my head in the paint shaker and flick "on".

[@thomas.doubleyou]

if been waiting that long, finaly someone shows me whats behind the edges. Good to hear all this big numbers

[@BENCMEN]

Discovering this channel feels like winning the lottery. Thank you very much for this. Great content, beautiful visualisations and absolutely amazing voice!

[@user-bd5nh5eb4b]

Leila has written a beautifully provoking journey into the unknowns , adding details which allow even my untrained mind to glimpse some of the maddening warps cosmological mathematicians must wrestle with ❤.

[@atashgallagher5139]

The warp is always maddening, always plotting, the chaos of it corrupting and twisting. For the god emperor it must be cleansed. WH40K reference lol

Tree 3 reminds me of the three body problem. 3 truly is a magical number

[@seanhunt1944]

So the “wow signal” dont black holes the collide put off radio signals or is that something else that I’m thinking of?

[@xanatos819]

I'm happy to have found your channel! Science is my primary interest and the majority or my time online is ticked away watching cosmology and physics documentaries. As you can imagine, I'm starting to run out of documentaries I haven't already seen! So your channel is a godsend

[@Titus873]

Genious. The music, soundtracks, voice and narrative are just amazing. I am a physicist and what amazes me more of this fantastic channel is the Production and Direction of the whole video. Big comgrats, such videos like this make science a pleasure.

Truly Exceptional❕
